Transcript

For this episode my guest is the Baltimore-based progressive rock band Bardic Compass. Their latest album is called Songs of the Caravan, and it chronicles a Dungeons & Dragons campaign played by the band and their friends. We had a lively conversation as all four members of the band joined me to discuss their approach to creating the album, their gaming experiences, musical influences like Coheed & Cambria, and Critical Role.

Artem Bank - Bass, Backing Vocals, Additional Instrumentation
Carl Hengen - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, Additional Instrumentation
Damian Silvas - Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals

You can preview tracks and purchase the new album from the Bardic Compass Bandcamp page.

Discussion about this podcast

Critical Hit Parader's Appendix LP Podcast

This podcast is focused on the intersection of music and tabletop roleplaying games. Where Gary Gygax's Appendix N listed the fantasy and sci-fi authors who most influenced him and the development of Dungeons and Dragons, the idea of Appendix LP is to explore the bands and songs that influence and enhance tabletop roleplaying. The podcast features game designers talking about the music that has inspired their games and writing, along with deep dives into classic Appendix LP artists.
